This sums up everything that is Coach Kelly… She yelled at the sideline of players who have barely seen the field all season (if at all) when we lost the SSC championship this week. She said we weren’t supportive enough. Of course the loss had nothing to do with the large number of turnovers, losing the draw, forcing shots that shouldn’t have been taken, etc…. It was the sidelines fault. This isn’t the first time Coach Kelly has blamed the sideline for a loss. The players on this team truly do support each other and get along. We cheer on our teammates and hope for success for all of us. Playing for Coach Kelly these past few years has really taken a toll on many players mental health. Coach Kelly has gotten worse with the pressure of 2 consecutive national championship wins. You never know what you will be dealing with from Coach Kelly on the daily (truly bipolar) and there are a lot of mind games played. This is an overall theme in her past reviews and completely true. She plays favorites and once you are no longer on that list, it doesn’t matter how hard you practice or improve. The roster is so large now that not everyone travels. When she recruited me she made a point of stating that all players traveled to away games because she thought that was fair since all players have a role and contribute during practices. That only occurred my freshmen year and it’s embarrassing when only a handful of players don’t get to travel to the away games with the rest of the team. Non-motivating for sure! I really don’t know how these college coaches that continue to preach that mental health matters continue to get away with being the main reason a player has mental health issues. Winning team only because they attract top players (and an active transfer portal) due to popularity of the school and it’s Florida location. It’s such a shame they have such a terrible head coach! I think it’s time for a change but hard to justify with leadership at the university when they are having winning seasons. Karma will prevail!

Very old school. Plays a 1970's-80's style of basketball which is awful to watch (and play) and not effective in today's game. Doesn't get the most out of his players. Hasn't changed his style and philosophy as the game has changed and evolved. Doesn't understand effective field goal percentage at all. Incorrectly compares 2 PT shooters and 3 PT shooters efficiency using straight FG percentage rather than eFG percentage (which gives the accurate comparison taking into account that a 3 PT shot gives you 1.5 times more points than a 2 PT shot.) Still plays a boring, half-court game with way too much dribbling and very little passing and ball movement.
